As a strategic partnership, Xiaomi and Airtel have come together for the launch of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G/LTE variant for India. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G variant will be sold offline at select Airtel stores offline. This will be the first and exclusive offline sales of Xiaomi phones in India with one of the leading network provider, Airtel, in India. The Redmi Note 4G model for India will support the 1800 and 2300 MHz frequency bands on which Airtel plans to roll out its 4G network.
As of now, Airtel India is offering 4G/LTE services in some select circles only and not at all India level. It is expected that in 2015, Airtel 4G network roll-out will span much more circles including major metro cities of India.
